Diablo 3 mods “expressly prohibited” by Blizzard

When PC Gamer was out at Blizzard on Tuesday, they told journalists players would be able to buy and sell items for real money, and the game will be online only. There’s another part to that, closely related: not only will mods not be supported, they’re specifically forbidden by Blizzard.

I think everyone knows that the community can create fantastic content and I am more than sure that Blizzard knows this. Hint: Warcraft III & Starcraft II custom maps.

If you knew how much goldselling/itemselling that existed in Diablo II, you wouldn't be so surprised they are cutting off all ends to possible exploits/hacks.

Blizzard Entertainment runs a business, they ain't a entertainment service, even though the name suggests it. It's only understandable that Blizzard will provide features that could generate more income. I can't say wether this feature is for the better or worse, but I know that it gives more gamers a bigger chance to fully experience Diablo III.

Absolutely disgusting.. mods are what give PC games their unique feel and brings communities closer. I always knew it was just a matter of time before Activision reared it's fat ugly Kotick head in Blizzard's business partnership.

This seems like freaking common sense to me. If you played Diablo II ladder, not open bnet then you would understand and be thankful that there are no mods. Diablo is one of the games that doesnt need mods, they can actually ruin the game. Skyrim on the other hand is a world where mods are welcomed, its also single player orientated other hand Diablo 3 is more multiplayer so mods would be unfair.
